Medi Dart is the brand of the one I have.
It comes with a crossbow to shoot it, they also make a version that goes on the end of a long pole.
I think it holds about 30 cc, you fill the syringe on the end, screw it onto the arrow that has a built in air chamber then use a hand pump to charge the air chamber.
When everything works right, on contact with the animal as the needle penetrates the hide it pushes back a release arm and the air charge moves the plunger forward to inject the medicine.
When it reaches the end of its travel it pushes the release arm forward and the arrow/syringe drops to the ground.
Often I would just walk up to a cow out on pasture and poke it by hand.
Our cows were quiet enough that it worked fine the first time you treated them.
If you had to treat the same cow a second time you needed to use the crossbow as by then they learned what that orange poky thing in your hand was and would try to avoid you.
Way more convenient than trying to bring them all back a mile or two to the handling facilities to treat one or two.
Probably only used it a couple of dozen times in the 15 years I have had it but it definitely was money well spent.
